Special attention is needed to assess constant wrist pain to avoid missed carpal bone fractures after traumatic events. Also, the consideration of avascular necrosis of carpal bones such asscaphoid bone after a traumatic or stress fracture is crucial. We hereby report a young elite wrestler who has been complaining about pain in both wrists for about two years before hisvisit to our clinic. The interesting point about this athlete is bilateral involvement and that the second pathology was probably overuse without any trauma.

AbstractA case is presented of a stress fracture of the femoral neck complicated by complete fracture. Additional complications arose when the repaired fracture went on to non-union due to bending of the DHS screw, requiring revision surgery with a valgus osteotomy. The case is important because this type of stress fracture has previously been considered to be safe from risk of complete fracture. The failure of the operative treatment has implications for young patients treated similarly.

Background: Femoral neck stress fracture (FNSF) is considered rare, and, as a consequence, is easily misdiagnosed due to a lack of awareness. The initial presentation can be subtle, but serious sequelae, including avascular necrosis of the femoral head or non-union could occur without proper management. Case Report: A left FNSF in a regularly exercising postmenopausal woman treated by in situ fixation with multiple cannulated screws is presented. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan revealed osteopenic bone marrow density (BMD) T-score. Subcutaneous denosumab injection was prescribed immediately following the operation according to World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation. Successful radiographic union was observed after three months without complications, and the patient was able to return to sports activities after six months. Conclusion: An early and accurate diagnosis of FNSF is essential in returning to sport and preventing undesirable harmful consequences.

Scaphoid excision and four-corner fusion is one of the treatment choices for patients who have stage II or III SLAC (scapholunate advanced collapse)/SNAC (scaphoid non-union advanced collapse) wrist arthritis. We report a case of ulnar-sided wrist pain which occurred after four-corner fusion for stage II SNAC wrist with a previously-asymptomatic ulnar positive variance, and was successfully treated by ulnar shortening osteotomy. This case highlights a possible coincidental pathology of the ulnocarpal joint in the setting of post-traumatic radiocarpal arthrosis.
